He sure did style the caps up a lot to take the pictures. You would have to heat the brim of the cap to get that style of bent in them. As they use a plastic incert in the brim. the cap's are one of the few things that I can wear in Mr. Freedom stuff all of it is cut to the silm side and not to the full cut. :)
Like I said my first Mr. Freedom cap was 250.00 and these have Kangaroo leather sweatbands so we will see what these new caps will go for.

Those Mr Freedom will probably be very limited also...
He does not make a lot of them & is limited to the amount of vintage fabric he has..
where's the link ? not on the website

yea now on the website.
thats a cool pic..
these seem more Casquete type like the John Lofgrens & sorta wrinkly/droopy compared to the
Past Mr Freedom caps. Diffrent cap though these look like 6 panels with long bills, sorta like the Horsehide caps he made with long bills & huge body..
wish they posted up side profile & rear pics.
It would be cool if he made more of his past French Cap in these fabrics too

A rough looking cap, I like em, and nice choice of fabrics on each. The white one with the red stripe reminds me of my grandmother's dish rags.
